Re: [RFC] IntlChar class and intl_char_*() functions

Hi! > You mean something along the lines of JavaScript’s > String.fromCharCode (or, in ES6, String.fromCodePoint)? Yes, exactly. > One of the nice things about that function is that it can take > multiple codes. So I can do String.fromCodePoint(65, 66, 67) to get > “ABC”. Well, that is nice but if we have it for one we can always use array_map() :) We could make it accept as many code points as we want, of course. > If we add that, we should also have an analogue of JavaScript’s > String.charCodeAt/String.codePointAt to do the operation in reverse. That'd be a bit harder since it's not clear what "at" means there - byte? codepoint? grapheme? what about broken UTF-8 sequences? What if you run this function on non-UTF-8 array? Etc. So this one is trickier, the other direction is easy. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
